Just got these 10-inch black taper candles for my dining table setup. The ribbed design is absolutely stunning - they look way more expensive than they actually are! Gives off major vintage gothic vibes.

Burning experience has been great so far. No dripping (yay for clean surfaces!) and truly smokeless as advertised. Love that they're unscented since I'm sensitive to strong fragrances during meals.

BUT... packaging needs serious improvement. Like other reviewers, I had one broken candle in my set of 6. Such a bummer when you're excited to use them! The cracked one still works though if I'm careful.

Pro tip: They pair beautifully with white candles for contrast. Used them for Halloween decor and got tons of compliments! Just wish the shipping was more reliable.

Final verdict? Gorgeous but gamble on condition. Would buy again if seller fixes packaging issues.
